#Inktober poster rough challenge #5: Ridley Scott's ALIEN, 1979. Part of what makes the movie so scary is that it subverts your expectations to such a degree, even after having seen it plenty of times. I wanted to do a poster that compounds that, giving the stock archetypes their traditional role placement rather than how they play out in the film, which doesn't really give us a hint as to who the protagonist is likely to be until well over halfway through the movie. Though when I tackle finals on this, finding a reference still of Dallas where he doesn't look like he's teetering on the precipice of a nap is gonna be the real challenge. (this one looks a little rougher than the others because I sketched it in the car while out all day with Liz and Penny, and dropped some color over it when I got home).
